This THP is about 12 miles SE of Shingletown, CA and Highway 44, and about 8 miles west of Mt. Lassen near Heart Lake at an elevation of 4,000 to 5,800 feet. Sierra Pacific Industries is planning a clearcut tractor and cable logging operation in ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white fir, Douglas fir, and incense cedar forests.
